Pathankot Introduction

Pathankot in the Punjab is a centre for travelling around the northern states of India. The city's surroundings are heavily forested and to the east there is the large Nurpur Fort, which supposedly dates from around the 10th century, but certainly has later embellishments including a popular temple. To the north is the smaller Shahpurkandi Fort which was built at the beginning of the 16th century. There is a good choice of hotels in Pathankot.
